UN to Recommend Americans Limit Meat Consumption Amid Climate Concerns

Despite the upcoming recommendation, the COP28 climate summit in Dubai continues to offer a variety of meat options.

The UN's Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) is set to release a policy recommendation urging Americans to limit their meat consumption due to concerns over climate change.
The FAO claims that the livestock sector is responsible for 14.5% of all anthropogenic GHG emissions, particularly impacting methane emissions.
The recommendation is set to be released during the COP28 climate change conference, which ends on December 12.
Despite the upcoming recommendation, the COP28 climate summit in Dubai is offering a variety of meat options from vendors, including beef.
The FAO is preparing to publish its first-ever global food systems’ road map, which is expected to recommend nations that 'over-consume meat' to limit their consumption as part of a broader effort to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
